COntagi0n in Clothing.

A Davenport physician tells of a case
reported to the Iowa state board of health
of a bankers family from which a child
had been lost sixteen years ago by
scarlet fever. The mother had lovingly
treasured through all those years the
clothing Of the darling she had lost. A
short time since she gave this clothing to
a younger child, which was promptly
taken down with fever and died. There
is lesson in this which it will not do to
slight, and that is to completely eradi-
cate every germ that remains from the
disease. The lapse of time makes no
difference as to the attendant danger,
and too much care cannot be exercised in
the matter. The clothing should all be
destroyed and the room thoroughly dis
infected.
